If you read spy thrillers there's probably a little inner spy in you, and what could be more fun than to see the story through the eyes of someone who has lived it? This story of espionage and personal redemption takes hold and doesn't put you down until you turn the last page. Even then, it leaves you wanting more, hoping there's a sequel or two with Jennifer and Frank. You'll cheer for these two and love to hate Jones, and just might lose a little sleep every time the phone rings...

I admit that I am not a fast reader, but Geoff Gluckman's Deadly Exchange had me riveted. If it was a library book I would have returned it before it was due. My last 3 'thrillers' have required two renewals. Looking forward to the next one.

I thoroughly enjoyed this exciting spy thriller. The plot, characters, and settings were well written and extrememly interesting. I was most impressed by the author's knowledge of mind control, government agents, advanced technology, and human behavior. This book was read by our book club and we all enjoyed a lively discussion when we reviewed Deadly Exchange.

This novel features a strong, female protagonist and non-stop action. Gluckman has original ideas which keep the reader thinking and the plot moving. Compares favorably to Vince Flynn and Dan Brown.

Exciting read. It kept me up way past when I should have been asleep. :) Wonderfully written, I couldn't wait for my next chance to pick it up. The author's personal experiences and knowledge lend a nice air of authenticity to the book. Descriptions were spot on - I lived in San Diego, and am currently in the Bay Area. Could see the many locales described in the book. Gluckman has given me many things to think about and investigate.

I truly enjoyed Geoffrey Gluckman's novel, Deadly Exchange. I had taken a several year break from reading fiction and this story was a refreshing return to fictional story telling. The Characters were very intriguing and easy to imagine as real. The concept and story was very believable and I loved the Authors ability to mix in important humanist philosophy and concepts while sharing some interesting world views while telling a realistic yet thrilling story.

Gluckman intorduces intriging and worrying insights into the world of espionage and population control. His Government background and knowledge of how the human body functions creates an in-depth but true to life sequence of events which make this such an enjoyable and stimulating read.

This is a fast paced novel that makes one question societal controls imposed by high technology in questionable hands. The author takes the time to artfullly allow the characters to grow and grapple with their complex facets. His descriptions of places from San Francisco to San Diego to Washington, DC to Arizona, of people and events are very original with subtle nuances that transports the reader into the action. I highly recommend this adventurous, thought provoking spy novel that is set in many shades of gray. The author's actual background as a government agent certaily adds authenticity to the plot.

A riveting spy thriller unfolding within the walls of corporate America. It takes you back to the roots of the nation and propels you into the near future of technological nightmare.
